Cancer Care

At UCHealth, you have access to top specialists with extensive experience in all types of cancers. A caring team of doctors and support professionals from many fields work together to develop the best plan of care for you. We are devoted to providing the highest level of cancer care, compassion and medical expertise to the patients and families we serve. Our experts treat the whole person, not just the disease and they stay with you from the initial appointment through treatment and aftercare.

As part of UCHealth, patients have access to the latest groundbreaking research and clinical trials and the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Colorado.

Multidisciplinary Clinics

Beating cancer takes a team of experts, that’s why we offer numerous multidisciplinary clinics throughout the Front Range. Our MDCs are a highly specialized team of physicians, research staff, nurse navigators, and genetic counselors.

Our team rapidly evaluates each case, reducing time to diagnosis and treatment plan consensus. This consolidates the number of appointments for the patient.

Communication is provided to the patient’s primary care physician (and other members of the care team) from the initial appointment through treatment and aftercare.

Patients are linked with a nurse navigator specializing in their cancer. This nurse will partner with the patient every step of the journey, providing education and emotional support as well as creating timely access to all specialists.
